$40. shipping $10.

Good Morning,

In the midst of errands and other work, I was able to take a few hours at the easel today and create this little painting. I have a couple of books by Wolf Kahn and I particularly like the way he paints trees. He is also a master with color. When I was in Montauk earlier this year, I had the opportunity to visit some galleries that featured his original paintings. They were wonderful.

The books are also good reading for anyone who is interested in what he has to say. Wolf Kahn's America" features his observations about many of the places that he painted. I found it interesting.

Until next time,

Glynis

Good Morning,

I spent most of last week painting. I was working on a large piece (32 x 36). You will see it here at some point, but I'm not ready to show it yet.

This painting is the second of the two rose paintings I did recently. The other is posted below. You will see a lot of similairity and a lot of differences. Both were fun.. The purchase link is below.

This week will be filled with painting and hopefully some interesting projects.

Until tomorrow,

Glynis

Oil Painting, "Apricots"

"Apricots"

Good Morning!

This week has been a typical summer week for me. I didn't get to paint with the sketch club on Tuesday because I was having some work done on the house. Finally, I got to paint yesterday with my friend, Becky. The painting is unfinished and I'm not showing it.

There are people who can show unfinished work and it always looks great. I am not one of those people. When my work is in progress, it's not something that looks very good. I go through many changes about it and usually scrape it off a time or two before it begins to look alright.

I'll finish this painting today and if it's not on the scrap heap, I'll show it to you tomorrow.

Meanwhile, please enjoy the painting of Apricots.

Untill tomorrow,

Glynis

Good Morning!

I'm back from a relaxing vacation! We went to Montauk, NY, Winslow's favorite place to go to the beach. He loves the cold weather, and we get a chance to relax, visit friends and spend a week just roaming around, reading, painting, riding horses and napping.

I was able to paint quite a bit and photograph a lot for future paintings.
I'll show some of those paintings in the near future. I have other news as well.
For now, I'm exhausted after a 7 hour ride, so here's a painting I did before I left last week.
Enjoy,
Until tomorrow,

Good Morning!

I have been working with glass. The reflections and distortions are amazing. Sometimes difficult (this was), always interesting. You will probably see more paintings that include glass on this blog. Hopefully they will get easier (and better).

Enjoy!

Good Morning!

Recently I have been working on some larger paintings. I love these paintings because they give me a different direction and refresh my view.

As you know, I have two websites. http://www.de-yong.com/ is devoted to abstract and experimental work. I usually put my figures on that site as well. I consider them to be experimental. It just seems sensible to keep them separated from my other work. This painting will be featured there. Later today, I'll post a purchase link to it.

Enjoy,

Daily oil painting, "Daffodils"

"Daffodils"

Oil on canvas

SOLD

Good Morning!

It's been a very busy couple of weeks. Travel, running paintings everywhere, framing, more framing. All in all, it's been good and I have been painting in between everything else. Kurt's show is up at 222, the League of Reston Artists show opened today. The Mill show in Millville will open April 26. I hope you will take the time to go and see the really good original art that is being displayed at these venues.

My painting today is of Daffodils. Spring is rapidly passing through. I bought these flowers and before I knew it, they were "overripe". I grabbed a quick painting before they lost their beauty. Please take the time to enjoy spring before it slips away.

Until tomorrow,

Glynis

This painting has been donated to the Greyhound Angel Network auction. The link to bid will be posted shortly. Greyhound Angel Network pays medical bills for greyhounds in need. This is a favorite charity of mine and Winslow's. Please visit their auction and bid on something. It's a good cause and we are proud to donate.

Good Morning!

After a few days off, it seems that Blogger has corrected itself. I was finally able to upload this painting. I found this teapot very interesting and will probably include it in future still life paintings. It reminded me of something Matisse would design.

I have been on spring break, taking time off to visit historic Williamsburg. It was quite interesting and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in history. A road trip is always good for creativity.

Now I'm refreshed and back to work.

Enjoy!

Yesterday, I was going through some of my old paintings. In the interest of being "green", I often recycle canvas and stretchers. Once in awhile, I find a surprise. Yesterday, it was a forgotten painting from last year.

Good Morning,

I was painting with friends yesterday and this is the result of my work. A painting with a lot of blue and grey tones. Oddly, it's the second time in a week I have painted the studio scene. If you are interested in seeing the other painting, it's featured on my website: http://www.glynisberger.com/

Good Morning,

It's Monday and daylight savings is creating havoc for my house. It always takes awhile to get used to it. I have enough trouble keeping up, so I'm not really pleased about losing an hour.

Last week, I was painting with friends. Jennifer remarked that she thought my driveby series would have more blur to them. I thought they were blurred, but she said that she would like to see more. I guess I wasn't driving fast enough. It sounded like a good idea to me, so here's the first with some "acceleration".

Thanks, Jennifer... This one's for you.

Enjoy,

Good Morning,

For the past few days, it's been very warm. People have been wearing shorts and it's obvious that spring is in the air. Tomorrow it will probably snow.

I painted with a friend today, working on a larger painting. It was a good day and it felt good to get away from the smaller canvas for awhile. I haven't finished the piece, but may show it here when I do.

Until tomorrow,

Glynis

Good Morning!

Another of the Driveby series, this small canvas features a hill, just outside of Upperville, VA. I spent some time going back and forth last fall when the leaves were changing. The colors were amazing. I'm beginning to enjoy painting these small landscapes.

It's been unseasonably warm here. The bulbs are coming up and other things are sprounting in the flowerbeds. I'm off to find my outdoor easel and get ready for spring. I always look forward to painting outdoors.

Enjoy,

Oil painting- "Sushi, I Want Sushi!"

"Sushi, I Want Sushi!"

Oil on canvas

11 x 14 inches

Sides painted and gallery wrapped

This painting has been donated to the GPA ORLANDO auction, to help GREYHOUNDS IN NEED.

Good Morning!

I just couldn't resist the title. Sometime I'll have to do an oil painting of Cyndi Lauper.

This little painting of sushi was fun because I've been painting in the kitchen and the lighting and shadows are different. It's good to have a change. I'll be back in the studio by week's end and painting on my new easel.

Until tomorrow,

Enjoy,

Good Morning!

Well, here I am with 4 in a row! I got off to a rocky start this morning. Ice storms cancelled my plans for earlier. I went to paint and found my easel was about to fall apart. But another cup of coffee and some gaff tape and the day was salvaged.

I have an old friend who is a fabulous potter. I use her dishes often This morning when I was pondering the repair of my easel, I thought her coffee cup would be a good subject. I must admit, 8 x 10 is very small for me and feels crowded. But here it is. Enjoy.

On a technical note, there is a button on the sidebar of this blog that says "CALL ME".. If you feel the need to contact me this way, go ahead. It's free, but you have to UNCHECK THE BOX THAT SAYS "keep my number private" and give me a name and number.

( I might even answer, who knows!)

Ahhh. Technology!

Until tomorrow,

Glynis
